Looks like the Baltimore vs. Texas game is off my schedule. Ernie Johnson and Craig Sager make the games unwatchable. I hate that TBS has the rights to any of MLB’s postseason games. What should be the best games featuring the best teams is ruined by groups of broadcasters who have no history or chemistry together and it kills the games. TBS’ baseball telecasts are brutal to sit through.

IMHO what should happen with the post season broadcasts is the networks should use at least one of home teams announcers as it used to be done. Darling is a great analyst and a pleasure to listen to and the announcer for the Brewers, Brian Anderson, does a credible job as well. However, these broadcast teams, that do not cover, the teams in the regular season cannot offer the insight that the regular teams broadcasters can. The ONLY exception that I would make to this rule would be if the Chisox ever made the playoffs. Hawk Harrelson should be banned for being the BIGGEST HOMER, no pun intended, in the history of broadcasting. PUT IT IN THE BOOOOOOKS…YEEEEEAHHHHHHH…ouch…LOL…Let’s Go Giants…..

@Greg: You probably don’t want to know that Thorne is doing Games 1 and 2 of the Reds-Giants series for ESPN Radio. Chris Berman, who simply isn’t a baseball play-by-play man, is doing the final three games of that series.

@Pete~ Actually, that’s good to know ! He won’t be on TV. I always think of Thorne as a hockey guy. Whenever he and Jim Palmer are coupled during a NASN telecast, you can just sense the tension between them. I guess Palmer has little use for Thorne’s lack of baseball knowledge and veiled arrogance.
